Lyrics:

Reuben
Father, we've something to tell you, a story of our time
A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime
You know you had a dozen sons
Well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to

Reuben&his wife& male ensemble
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph, we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get by

There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
Brothers
But Joseph, the things that you stood for
Reuben
Like truth and light never die

When I think of his last great battle
A lump comes to my throat
It takes a man who knows no fear
To wrestle with a goat
His blood-stained coat is tribute to
His final sacrifice
His body may be past its peak, but his soul's in paradise

JACOB
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye

Brothers
But Joseph, the things that you stood for
Reuben
Like truth and light never die

BROTHERS
Carve his name with pride and courage

Napthali
Let no tear be shed

BROTHERS
If he had not laid down his life, we all would now be dead
